If you lose a single AirPod, you can purchase a new one from Apple. The cost of a single AirPod is $69. However, if your AirPods are covered by AppleCare+ (Apple’s extended warranty coverage), they will replace it at no additional cost.
AppleCare+ extends the standard 1 year warranty from 90 days of accidental coverage to 2 years. If you don’t have AppleCare+, you can contact Apple to find out if you can pay for repair coverage.
It’s also important to note that when using only one AirPod, the audio will be slightly unbalanced, as the sound will be coming out of only one AirPod. You can also adjust the volume within the settings menu to make up for the lack of sound from the missing AirPod.
Can you track a single AirPod?
Yes, you can track a single AirPod using the ‘Find My’ app on your device as long as your AirPods are paired with it. To locate a missing AirPod, open the ‘Find My’ app and go to the ‘Devices’ tab. Select your AirPods from the list of devices.
If one of your AirPods is online and nearby, it will appear on the map. You can then choose to ‘Play Sound’ on the lost AirPod from the app, which will activate a sound on the missing AirPod and help you locate it.
If your AirPod is out of Bluetooth range, you can mark it as lost, which will lock it down and prevent anyone else from connecting to it. You can also choose to be notified when your AirPod is online and view its last known location in the ‘Find My’ app.
How much does it cost if you lost one AirPod?
The cost of a single AirPod can vary, depending on the type you have. The AirPods Pro cost $89 while the AirPods with a Wireless Charging Case cost $199. If you just have the standard AirPods, then they cost $159.
Depending on your warranty, Apple may replace a lost AirPod, but typically you would have to purchase a new one to replace the lost one.
Can I use one AirPod if I lost the other?
Unfortunately, no, you can not use one AirPod if you have lost the other. AirPods are designed to be used together and the sound quality and balance of the audio is affected if only one AirPod is used.
Additionally, the single AirPod will not be able to pair with the device you are using it with. The Apple warranty on AirPods does not cover loss and as such, you would need to purchase a new pair.
How much is a replacement AirPod pro Bud?
The exact cost of a new replacement AirPod pro Bud depends on where you purchase it from. Generally, a single AirPod Pro Bud will cost $89 if you purchase it directly from Apple. However, you may be able to find a better price if you shop around at other retailers.
It’s also worth noting that you can purchase a pair of AirPod Pro Buds for a discounted rate of $169 which makes it a better option if you’re in need of both buds. If you have purchased AppleCare+ for Headphones, you can get a replacement AirPod Pro Bud for $29.
So, the total cost of a replacement AirPod Pro Bud will depend on where you purchase it, but you are looking at a minimum of $89.
How do I track my AirPods?
Tracking your AirPods can be done using the “Find My” feature in Apple’s iCloud. You can locate the feature by signing into iCloud with your Apple ID, then selecting the “Find My” feature. Once you are in the feature, you will be able to see your AirPods listed along with any other Apple items connected to your Apple ID.
You will be able to see the current location of your AirPods via a map which can be zoomed in and out of. You have the option of playing a sound when your AirPods are within bluetooth range which makes it easier to find.
If your AirPods have been stolen or have gone missing, you can place them in “Lost Mode” which locks them and prevents any other Apple devices from connecting to them. This can be done by selecting the “Actions” button next to your AirPods and then selecting the “Lost Mode” action.
